On the property we have accommodations for 135 residents, a beautifully maintained fitness center (thank you Massman Family), a little store, a library, an auto center for maintenance of our 30 vehicles, a conference center, a medical facility and a fully stocked building filled with clothing, shoes and hygiene products for clients. We have an outpatient/Drug Court program in East Pasadena. A Drug Court program in Los Angeles. A men's and a women's lock-up facility for men and women mandated to jail. And finally, we have three sober living buildings in Pasadena. Huge growth from the six person tract house in Sun Valley where it all begain.

As we move into the heart of the holiday season, Impact is opening up a few meaningful ways for our community to show support.

Every year our patients and their children receive Christmas gifts from people who believe in our mission. It is one of the most uplifting parts of this work and a reminder that kindness changes lives in real time.

If you are looking for a simple way to help someone feel remembered and valued, we have FOUR giving options this year:

Thank you for helping us bring light into this season.

Celebrating Courage and Partnership at Drug Court Graduation

Yesterday was a different day for some of our population at Impact. While the rain fell on most of Los Angeles, there was a group of patients from Impact that were getting to witness a milestone in their journey of recovery.

These graduates completed the Drug Court Program, a rigorous journey that asks for honesty, accountability, and a belief that transformation is possible. They showed all of that and more.

Impact has a long history with Drug Court. We were the first treatment center invited to participate when the program was founded. That early partnership shaped our identity. For decades we have worked side by side with judges, attorneys, probation officers, and clinical teams to make sure people receive treatment instead of punishment. That collaboration has saved lives and helped countless men and women begin again.

Our relationship with the courts is not an accessory to our work. It is one of the strongest parts of our process. It allows people to move from crisis toward stability with support, structure, and a team that believes in them. Every successful graduation reminds us why this partnership matters. It shows the power of community, second chances, and the courage of individuals who choose recovery even when the path feels steep.

To the graduates, thank you for letting us walk with you. Your strength inspires our staff, your peers, and everyone who witnesses your progress.

We are grateful to be part of your story.

Run to Live.

A simple tattoo on one of our runners from last year's Impact 5K. Those three words sum up what this event is all about.

On February 22nd, 2026, we're bringing back our 5K. It's more than a race. It's a celebration of recovery and the brave men and women that keep moving foward, one step at a time.

At Impact, we've seen how powerful the act of movement can be. Running, walking, showing up. It all matters. Because for so many of us, living fully starts with taking that first step.

Join us this year as we run, walk, dance, and celebrate life in recovery. Because we don't just run for fun.

We run to live.💙

At Impact, recovery isn't just about what we overcome, it's about rediscovering joy, laughter, and community.

Every Halloween, our staff and our patients celebrate together. Behind the costumes are men and women in recovery, some new to it all and some that have been walking this path for decades.

They are people who once thought that life couldn't be fun without drugs or alcohol. Days like this remind us otherwise.

We dress up not just for the fun of it, but to show those new to the process what's possible: a life where you can laugh, belong, and be fully present.

That's the kind of Impact we believe in.

This past weekend, members of the Impact Drug & Alcohol Treatment Center team presented at the CCAPP National Recovery Capital Conference in Newport Beach, joining treatment leaders and recovery advocates from across the state to share ideas, research, and stories that strengthen our collective mission.

For more than 50 years, Impact has worked to expand what recovery means. From treatment and reentry support to leadership development and workforce training. Events like this remind us how powerful it is when the recovery community comes together to learn, grow, and keep pushing the field forward.

We’re proud of our team, our patients, and the partners who make this work possible every day.

This morning, members of the Impact team joined Pasadena Mayor Victor Gordo and the Pasadena Police Department for the annual Chief’s Breakfast.

Impact is proud to have a strong partnership with the Pasadena Police Department. One built on shared values of community, compassion, and collaboration. Together, through initiatives like Impact Alliance, we’re working to create more pathways to recovery, reduce recidivism, and strengthen trust between first responders and the individuals we serve.

Moments like this remind us that real change happens when people come together across systems to focus on what matters most: helping people heal and rebuild their lives.

🌊 Beach Day is coming! 🏖️

At Impact we take our patients to the beach for a day of fun, connection, and a reminder that recovery is full of beautiful moments.

This year, we’re hoping to send them with something simple but meaningful: their own beach towel. A towel they can wrap up in after a swim, sit on in the sand, and take home as a memory of the day.

If you’d like to help, we’ve made it super easy. Just click our Amazon Wish List and send a towel directly to Impact. Every towel you buy will make a patient’s Beach Day extra special.

Thank you for helping our patients soak up the sun and the joy of recovery!

Last night, we gathered at the Wende Museum to hold Restoring the Missing Piece, and what a night it was.

We laughed, we listened, we lifted one another. We made new friends, touched hearts and minds, and raised critical funds to support the life-saving work of Impact.

In the face of addiction, we chose hope. And together, we showed what’s possible when a community stands up for recovery, for second chances, and for the belief that everyone deserves the space to heal.

From the bottom of our hearts thank you. 💙
